With the weight of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things
Little ones shouldn't know
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still I feel like that child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon
Funny how one can learn
To grow numb to the madness
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget
Nearind the edge
Oblivious, I almost
Fell right over
A part of me will never be
Quite able to feel stable
That woman-child falling inside
Was on the verge of fading
Thankfully I woke up in time
Guardian angel,
I sail away on an ocean
With you by my side
Orange clouds roll by
They burn into your image
And you're still alive
"Close My Eyes"-- Mariah Carey
